Is sex after 40 better? Different? It’s
what you really want to know. What else is there to write about?
The 40 Factor is
here, and no matter how young I feel on the inside, it’s going to play a role in my life.
Sharing my approach to the big 4 - 0 and beyond through Countdown to 40 was great — one of my best experiences
in recent years. For me, it was an exciting and interesting way to connect with friends, family, and colleagues, while meeting
new people.
You listened to everything I wanted to share, and you told
me how you felt, what I should do, or just encouraged me on. Your comments, e-mails, texts, Facebook posts, and phone calls
were greatly appreciated.
So much happened during this time, and
I was touched that you wanted to share it all with me.
You heard about
how much I love root canal and learned lessons d’amour in LOVE 101. You held
my hand as I had two pieces of skin removed and waited for B-B-B-B-B-Biopsy results.
We talked about The High Price of Healthy and
even higher costs to Take me out to the ball game!
I surprised many of you, because I don’t care how hot you think your
ass is. And,
after all this time, I’m saying NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! We
also learned to better appreciate a well-balanced life and asked, Who are you calling lazy?
We told men to grow up in If boys will be boys . . . and
touched the surface of taboo in Let’s talk about sex . . . really. You also
helped me through my sulfa allergy ordeal, laughing at Cats, Bees, and Sulfur! Oh my!
I shared my Top Ten Reasons To Be Thankful and my Thanksgiving Prayer in Thanksgiving: The Complaint Department Is
Closed.
You entertained My Birthday Wish and
joined the fight against hunger in America — spreading the word and raising more than enough money to rescue 40,000 pounds of food. And,
together we bid Farewell to 2009.

As I approached the big 4 – 0, I
knew that Countdown to 40 could not continue forever. I decided a long time ago that I wouldn’t be 39 (or 29) forever.
Of course, I reserve the right to reconsider that decision at some point in the future.
While we say farewell to Countdown to 40, I’d like to introduce you to The 40 Factor — the
place for everything about the big 4 - 0 and beyond.
Whether you’re
in your 40s, on your way, or getting ready to order your AARP card, please join us. We’ll be talking about everything
that’s on our minds . . . from love, careers, health, and the environment, to security, friendships, volunteering, money,
and so much more.
